130 Letters to Benjamin Franklin 



From Sargent, Chambers & Co. 1772. January 25. [London.] 



Agreeable to Franklin's instructions, have drawn out his account, 

 which amounts to £149 i6s. id.; beg that Franklin may signify his 

 pleasure about its disposal. L. in 3d P. I p. Ill, 88. 



From [Jonathan Shipley,] Bishop of St. Asaph. 

 [^Circa 1772.] January 25. 

 Inviting him to dinner. N. in 3d P. I p. XLIII, 230(1). 



From N[oble] W[imberly] Jones. 1772. February 2. Savannah. 

 Greatly concerned at not hearing from Franklin for so long ; affairs 

 in the same state as when he last wrote; no House of Representatives; 

 at a loss to conceive what their arbitrary rulers mean by it, unless to 

 terrify weak-minded people into their measures; the coming election 

 will disclose a part of their motives ; would be glad to hear from Frank- 

 lin, if anything occurs concerning the Province. A. L. S. 2 p. Ill, 89. 



From W[illia]ni Franklin. 1772. February 28. Burlington. 



Acknowledging Franklin's letter of April 20th, containing his Lon- 

 don account against the estate of Mr. Parker with the request to assist 

 in securing the debts; enclosing a copy of Mr. Parker's account against 

 Franklin, also a memorandum to enable Franklin to state his account 

 properly against Mr. Parker's estate; the sooner this is done the better; 

 Mrs. Parker very infirm ; leaves everything to Jenny, who is about to 

 marry a young fellow not of age, an apprentice to a lawyer. A. L. S. 

 I p. Ill, 90. 



From [Jonathan Shipley,] Bishop of St. Asaph and Mrs. Shipley. 



[1772. February.] 



Inviting him to dinner on Sunday. N. in 3d P. i p.

From [Jean-Baptiste] Le Roy. [1772?] March 5. Paris. 



Reproaching Franklin with his year's silence. Recommending the 

 bearer, M. de Bassue, to Franklin's kind notice. Arctic exploration 

 planned for May; desires any advice Franklin can give their new 

 argonauts. Messrs. Banks's and Solander's proposed antarctic trip; his 

 admiration for scientific explorers. A. L. S. 4 p. (In French.)
